Question Paper 100 Marks
Read the following to answer this group activity:

Create an MVC Search Weather project that will allow users to register their details such as email, and password, and then

log into the application to enter a city in Gauteng.

Once the user enters the city, The application must display the city name, followed by the zip code of the city and the
weather for that day.

Here are generals steps you can use as a group to assist you:
1. Set up a new ASP.NET Web Application project in Visual Studio, selecting the MVC template.
2. Create a SQL Server database to store user information.
3. Define a User model class with properties for user ID, email, and password.
4. Create a database context class to interact with the database.
5. Implement user registration functionality in an AccountController with two actions: one to display the registration
form, and one to handle the form submission and save the user to the database.
6. Implement user login functionality in the same AccountController with two actions: one to display the login form,
and one to handle the form submission and authenticate the user using the database.
7. Obtain an API key from OpenWeatherMap and use it to implement a weather search feature in a new
WeatherController with two actions: one to display the search form, and one to handle the form submission and
display the weather information.
8. Add validation to the user registration and login forms using the data annotations in the User model class.
9. Use Bootstrap to style the user interface of the application.
